Hoffman stars as Chester "Ace" Bernstein, a man who has just been released from prison after serving three years. His "drug" of choice? Gambling, obviously. Extremely intelligent, Ace wants to go back to his former position at the track, felony charges be damned! Aside from gamblers, the show goes into the lives of jockeys, trainers and others as well.

As if Hoffman wasn't enough, the show comes from Deadwood creator David Milch and the pilot was directed by Michael Mann. Plus, the show also stars Nick Nolte, Dennis Farina, Richard Kind, Kerry Condon, Jason Gedrick, Jill Hennessy and more. Not bad, right?

HBO actually debuted the pilot early in December after the finale of Boardwalk Empire. While the numbers weren't anything to brag about (about 1.1 million), we're curious to see the reaction from viewers after tonight's airing.
